Happy Birthday Kali!!

My baby is now 8 years old. Eight! I can’t believe how fast the years have flown by. This has been a year full of awesome changes and my “little” girl has really blossomed recently. She is probably one of the funniest people I know and has lightning-fast comedic responses. We get whacked with Kali zingers all day long.

We are going away next weekend for her birthday; it’s what she wanted to do. Yesterday we just hung around here and had a nice, quiet day. I was thankful for that since my migraine seemed to want to stick around for another day. Blech.

Here’s Kali’s day in pictures. Mind you, she refused to get dressed at all, so all her pictures are with her pj’s!

Mary came and spent the night with us. She did the big chalk board for Kali.

Someone didn’t like getting up so early, so she went back to sleep. She left right before lunch. Bye Mary!!!! And may I add that my awesome oldest child just got 4 A’s!!!! She’s a rock star and we are so proud of her.

Kali asked for my cinnamon coffee cake as her birthday cake. Yay!

I was able to ‘veganize’ is and it was incredible!

The twins.

After dinner (I made General Tso’s Chick’n) it was time for cake.

OMG. This was just a huge pan of sugary goodness. I think we were all on a sugar high afterwards, especially since we also had vanilla ice cream with it. Then we crashed. Hard.
